Spero Analytics

What it does

Spero Analytics builds and deploys wireless mesh networks specifically designed for continuous environmental monitoring in remote facilities and off-grid areas. Our sensor arrays can scale up to 100 nodes for a single gateway, cover hundreds of square kilometers, adapt to any type of structural or gas sensor, and require no telecommunications infrastructure to operate. Most importantly, they reduce the burden on maintenance staff as the network is configured to reorganize itself in case any single node goes offline and it can operate in extremely cold climates given the adaptive power savings features built into the system. Our core focus is on automated greenhouse gas monitoring in landfills, having installed sensor arrays at two waste management sites in Ontario. As part of our push to expand to other sectors, we are currently collaborating with Environment Canada to adapt our network to carry out passive greenhouse gas monitoring in petroleum facilities with the aim of producing accurate emission inventories and precise leak detection. We will also be undertaking a Proof-of-Concept project to assess our network's suitability for underground geotechnical hazard monitoring in potash mines. To-date, we have raised $210,000, secured 4 design partners, made sales to Environment Canada and a rainwater harvesting developer in Mexico, and intend on expanding the size of our team to aggressively pursue market entry. Our mission is to become the industry standard for environmental monitoring in remote areas with limited infrastructure.
